Should Rand Support Trump

[Murrika]

I would like to see Rand in a high office position. I think trump wants Trey Gowdy for attorney general. It would be cool to have Rand as Sec of State. All while Hillary rots in jail. Rand is too valuable to be a sitting duck in Kentucky for the next 4 years.

Discuss.

Rand has already come out against Trump. Why would he endorse him now? Christie never tore into Trump...he kept his options open, and now he is able to reap the benefits.

I'm much more interested to see if Carson endorses Trump.

Hillary isn't going to jail, some aides will probably have to fall on their swords and do time for her. Rand won't endorse Trump in the primary and won't be in a Trump administration. Rand probably will "support the nominee" but do nothing to help Trump.

I dont think the jabs against Trump are an issue, its just politics. Rand can do more for us being out of Kentucky.

Rand fucked-up by coming out against the loudmouthed disrupter as hard as he did.

Jealousy of Trump's success with the electorate was probably a big part of the motivation for why he did that.

Even if Rand only came out in support of Trump's ability to root the neocons out of the GOP, many people in this movement would cry and gnash their teeth until the cows came home.

I think that he would be a lot better off preserving whatever "pure libertarian" credentials he has left.

The best thing for Rand to do is wait until the general to endorse, and then simply adapt to/take advantage of the "reformutation" of the GOP that is going to occur if/when Mr. Wrecking-Ball gets elected President.

Rand should hop into a time machine and slap some sense into the Rand of a month ago that folded after Iowa until he understood that he could still win if he stayed in the race.

Yeah, the quick pull back looks pretty bizarre now.

Not just bizarre.

Outright inexplicable.

We deserve a lot better explanation than we got. He explicitly promised that he was "in it to win it".

Should Rand Support Trump?

FIFY

It will not even get to that. She can pardon herself.

Rand should meet with Trump, give him various Liberty platform positions and say if you will endorse these I will back you. Rand would be an amazing Sec of State

He lied.

In defense of Rand...maybe he or his family were threatened.

Anybody who thinks that is outside the realm of possibility, does not understand how this system works.

I hope Rand never endorses Trump. I hope he stays as far away from Trump as time and distance will allow.

I hope you're kidding when you say Rand should be jealous of Trump's success. Trump's success is simply due to more of Boobus' blind stupidity, Trump dangled something shiny in front of them, they turned away from the Kardashians for 5 minutes and decided to support him...I see nothing to envy about that.

. . . and say if you will endorse these I will back you. Rand would be an amazing Sec of State

Interesting post, since Rand called out Madame Secretary Clinton over Libya and the second September 11.

Anyone who supports Trump is a degenerate feeble brain. Rand isn't endorsing Trump in the primary. Rand would endorse Lindsay Graham before he would endorse this guy.
